Undeceptions with John Dickson

Almost everyone can remember the exact moment they gave up on mathematics.

But for those who persist, many don’t just find maths useful; they find it beautiful.

Some even go so far as to claim that mathematics is the ‘language of God’.

It’s high time for an episode on the fabulous Hildegard of Bingen.

This remarkable 12th-century nun’s work covered a vast amount of ground: she wrote about ecclesiastical history, science, medicine, botany, mineralogy and petrology, zoology and theology, mysticism, music, painting, and monastic architecture.
She was also a travelling preacher, visionary, and geopolitical manoeuvrer.

She’s now revered as a ‘Doctor of the Church’ - one of only 38 people awarded the title for their profound and lasting impact on Christian teaching.

Other Doctors include Augustine of Hippo, Gregory the Great, and the Venerable Bede. So, Hildegard is in good company.

The West might be becoming less ‘religious’, but according to many it’s becoming a lot more ’spiritual’.

In fact, “spiritual but not religious” is described as a “rapidly growing faith group” in America, with as many as 20 per cent of people falling into the category.

And yet, there’s nothing new about being spiritual but not religious; it’s been Christianity’s dancing partner – or maybe sparring partner - for thousands of years.

High performers - athletes, business professionals, artists, and the like - inspire and motivate us. They give us benchmarks to strive for and show us what sort of life we might lead if we were the “greatest of all time” in a given field.

But is striving to be the “greatest” actually good for us? Or does it do more harm than good?

Africa is home to over 1.5 billion people and some of the fastest-growing economies in the world, but it still faces vast challenges.

Thousands of missionaries have moved to Africa and made it their life’s work to help bring about change.

John speaks with one of them.
